Love your channel. My wife and I own a cafe in the states. I’m the barista of it. I love the work to. Owning the business on your own definitely has its pros and cons. You may make more money but your also spending a lot more to. Definitely not a career to get rich in unless you own multiple locations or it’s just out the door jam packed. (In my opinion ). We have some friends who also own spaces. They put it this way , “you will never feel so rich and so broke all at the same time”. One day you will look at your bank account with some good money in it then you realize “oh damn I have to pay the employees, I have to buy more product , the dish washer broke I have to fix, the utilities are due , my lease is due (not only for the space but your own personal home)”. It’s a lot to take on. And days off aren’t as easy either. Lot of our employees just get to take off if they need but the owners no. Lot of people think it must be nice but it’s not as it seems. Don’t get me wrong tho. I’d rather own the spot then work at it so wouldn’t change it. Just really think about it before going all in.

@franciscochavez1010 thank you for sharing your experience and thought. And yes.. even though I'm not there yet but I kind of understand what you mean. Earlier, I wanted to have my own cafe because I have my own space, and admired cafe owners but the more I work, the more I realize owning and managing a cafe is much harder than I thought (especially when there is inflation and recession.. ) At the moment, I still enjoy making coffee , but because of those.. nowadays, I keep thinking, should i continue this career as my main job to cover my living cost (barista or open a new cafe and become owner) or study something else and enjoy coffee as hoby. 🫠

@@My_Coffee_Space well sounds like your in a good spot as you have options. Once you sign a lease it’s all in from there. We have done it all when it comes to the food industry. Not sure how it is in Australia but another option that is much cheaper and it can be a step to see if it’s something you really want is buying a coffee cart or coffee trailer. We had one custom built. We would do pop ups out of it. Depending on permitting you can go downtown or setup at your local farmers markets. Money tends to be pretty good. Way less overhead and it’s a lot of fun. Honestly we miss those days and will eventually make our way back. You can serve what you want and there is no high expectations for customers if you’re closed or open.
